Do you cling to the dying rose or look to the rising sun?

God know what You've done, Where you've come from and what you are going through.

He knows your heart, your hurts, your joys, and what overwhelms you.

He knows how you yearn for love, for acceptance, for appreciation, to be needed. 

He sees you when you skip for joy.

He holds you when you cry your eyes out.

He laughs with you when snow tickles your nose.

He sends angels to stand guard over you while you rest your head, while you walk throughout your day.

He is with you when you are tempted to sin.

And when you fall down again, when His heart grows heavy.

He knows that hurts you try and cover with the addictions, which only make it worse.

He's with you when you try to go it alone.

He's holding you when your world crumbles around you.

He protects your heart from what you cannot handle but allows you to walk your own path.

And after you've done what you want, He picks you up, holding you close, dusting you off.

Throughout our fleeting days we say we are in control of our lives, doing what we want.

Yes we make our own decisions and from that we must live with our consequences.

But what is the point of all this?!

Why do we get up each day??

Is it for our glory?!? IF  it is I think that we are all screwed over.

Because though life gets hard and we push our faces to the ground,

if this is all there is then why do we work so hard?

Life is so crazy short that people we love and grow so close to are here one min. and gone the next.

IF this is all that there is, that is plain flat out crewel.

But our hope and faith and the promise given to us is that this is not all of it.

This pain and suffering and hurt was not meant to be in the first place.

This life, we being people who attach to each other so easily, we were not meant to separate.

But because of our choices we must be, for a short time.

But our joy is that this is not all.

We do not live for what had polluted this world, but for the things of God- or we should.

A few questions:

Does your life reflect that your hope, your faith is in the promise that was given to you, that we are meant for so much more?

Or do you blend in with the hopeless?

Those who are wrapped up in the things that are dying and fleeting?

Do you cling to the dying rose or look to the rising sun?

 Or
